Associate Professor Jagnoor Jagnoor

Jagnoor holds Emerging leader 2 – NHMRC fellowship, and has a background in injury epidemiology.  

Jagnoor’ s research interests are exploring the impact of injuries, assessing issues of equity and vulnerability in the distribution of the burden of injuries, evaluating potential interventions to reduce the burden of injuries in Australia, Africa and Asia and contributing to data for decision making in preventing injuries and improving recovery post-injury. She is engaged in several projects in LMIC working on injury surveillance systems, occupational injuries, road injuries, burns, falls, snakebites and drowning.

Her current research spans a broad range, including injury prevention, rehabilitation, health-related quality of life, health systems and policy analysis, economic impact and alternate systems of insurance with respect to injury, whiplash, and mild traumatic brain injury. Jagnoor is passionate about creating new knowledge to best address the injury burden in low middle-income populations with competing for health needs. She has a deep interest in social and political determinants of injury prevention. She has a proven and continuing track record in seeing real world impact from my research that consistently is translated through improved practitioner guidelines and government programs and policy. Her work work builds on sustained engagement with communities/consumers, government, and the scientific community.
